The datasheet for the 334x PHY mentions that a reset can be performed:
"... by bringing the pin low for a minimum of 1 microsecond and
then high."
A delay of 5ms to implement that seems overly long, so reduce it to
just 1us.
As for the delay after reset, the datasheet only mentioned that the
chip will assert the DIR output. 1ms seems like a safe time to wait
for that to happen, so no change there.

If the spec says 1us I'd delay for longer just to make sure.
And add a comment saying that the reset needs to be 1us long.

Why? It's not as if the chip would reset any "better" if you pull the line longer. For some of these USB PHYs, the internal regulators and other analog parts will be disabled as well and the longer you keep it in reset, the longer it will take the device to start back up again.
The 1us value already takes into account a generous compensation for temperature and other factors, and probably the reset will work just fine even if you only use half the time.
Even if I'd agree with you here, I think you'll also have to admit that 5000x the value in the datasheet might be a bit over the top.
